Please could people suggest some flower names? My dds already have in their names Violet, Daisy and Ivy (not a flower, I know, but still 'floral'!) Thanks!

It is rather a shame anout that, because Zinnia is a rather pretty name, but Zinnia Wormwood, neglectful-bingo-playing parent...

Leannabanana Good luck...
